Re: Error in Security Log
Mar 7 12:39:46 xxxx sshd[2475]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use.
Harmless informational message regarding sshd startup. To make it go away, set the hostname (or IP) in the /etc/ssh/sshd_conf file.
Mar 7 13:40:30 xxxx userhelper[4420]: pam_timestamp: updated timestamp file `/var/run/sudo/root/unknown'
Mar 7 13:40:31 xxxx userhelper[4421]: running '/usr/share/system-logviewer/system-logviewer.py' with root privileges on behalf of 'root'
Another harmless informational message. The redhat system configuration tools (like system-logviewer, redhat-config-securitylevel, etc) all require root access in order to run them (the password dialog box pops up and prompts for the root password). If the password is entered, then the application runs and 2 log msgs appear. The timestamp message occurs because the system will time-out the application after a certain amt of time so the tool isn't left open on the desktop. The second lets you know which app was run and which user was successfull authenticated.
